gas and bloating- sorry

mickey782 · October 2012

I am experiencing a lot of bloating-looking like I'm 6 months pregnant already. Will this go away? I am hoping to keep it a secret until around CHristmas time but might not be able to at this rate. What can I do to decrease bloating? Drinking lots of water and eating mainly fruits and veges(normal routine and diet).

I have also been having lots of gas- to the point that it is hard to breathe. Is this a side effect? What can I safely take to help this issue?

Totally normal! I'm going through the same thing. Although I had IVF and was bloated and stayed bloated after surgery. My doctor told me to take Colace to help with going to the restroom and releaving gas as well. It does seem to help.

I too look like i'm further along then I should. I look about 3 months pregnant and I'm sure my family will be able to tell by Thanksgiving so I'm thinking I will have to tell them that day! I'm excited to share the news any way

Hi im new on here but i am experiencing the same thing. im 5 weeks pregnant havnt been to the toilet for days and i am burping and passing wind alot! my stomach is bloated just above the knicker line and my boobs are really sore. I also would like to wait till xmas but think people will guess by then.

I thought the constipation, wind may be down to the pregnacare vitimins i am taking as they have iron in them?

I am almost 6 weeks and I too have a lot of bloating and gas. That is actually how I knew to take a pregnancy test. I am told it is normal for a lot of woman...we are just some of the lucky ones. LOL

I'm told drinking lots of water, not eating salty foods or adding salt to anything and also eating smaller more frequent meals/snacks. Good luck!

Omg my pants aren't fitting either. All I been wearing is juggling pants and I had to go get a bigger size. I'm glad too see I'm not the only one going through this

I see a pattern here... I am five week and am also Very bloated! It is to the point where I am not hungry either. And I do a lot of bending at my job- uncomfortable! Looking forward to the baby bump, not the bloated bump!!!

I'm at 5 weeks right now too and feel the exact same way! I don't remember feeling this way with my first but this one has definitely got me feeling that way. Hopefully it'll go away soon! I'm not liking bending over to pick up my son (2 1/2) when I feel like this haha

I am 5 weeks, and the only real symptoms I have are bloating and constipation. It is making me crazy! I don't ever feel hungry, and I know I can't really take anything. There is a smooth move tea I know about, but I found out I can't even drink that, even though it's "all natural". Been trying apple juice, fruits and veggies, fiber. They say exercise helps too. Going to do some yoga today. Hopefully something will work soon. I shouldn't feel this fat already!

I'm so goad to hear other women are having the same symptoms of bloating and pants not fitting. I feel like I look 3 months and I'm only 5 weeks. I'm luckily not having constipation but cramps that feel like major period cramps. Thank you all for sharing.
